Understanding the Different Types of Incontinence

Incontinence is a topic many people find difficult to talk about — but it affects millions of people of all ages and backgrounds. The more we understand it, the easier it becomes to find the right support and live confidently. At Me Confy, our mission is to bring comfort, dignity, and real solutions to those experiencing incontinence, whether at home or in care settings.

Stress Incontinence

This type happens when physical movement or activity — such as coughing, sneezing, or lifting — puts pressure on the bladder. It’s more common in women, especially after childbirth or menopause.
Product tip: Pull-up pants or adjustable pads with secure leg cuffs can offer protection during movement and everyday activities.

Urge Incontinence (Overactive Bladder)

This occurs when there’s a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by an involuntary loss of urine. It can be caused by bladder irritation or neurological conditions.
Product tip: High-absorbency disposable pads or washable bed pads offer reassurance, especially during the night.

Overflow Incontinence

This happens when the bladder doesn’t empty completely, leading to dribbling. It can occur in men with prostate problems or people with certain medical conditions.
Product tip: Use breathable, high-absorbency pads that protect without adding bulk.

Functional Incontinence

Here, a person’s urinary system may work normally, but physical or cognitive issues (like dementia or limited mobility) make it hard to reach the toilet in time.
Product tip: Combining bed pads, pants, and easy-to-change products can help caregivers maintain dignity and hygiene.

Mixed Incontinence

A combination of stress and urge incontinence — very common in women.
Product tip: Use layered protection — for example, Me Confy washable bed pads with disposable inserts for flexibility and comfort.

Caring with Confidence

For me, incontinence care has never been just about managing leaks — it’s about restoring independence, comfort, and dignity. That’s what inspired me to create Me Confy. We’re building a thoughtful range of continence care products designed around real people and real needs — from washable and disposable bed pads to pull-up pants and caregiver combo packs. Some of these products are still on their way, but they’re coming very soon — and I can’t wait to share them with you.
